Just try going out for a walk for 10 minutes every day. Next week try 15 minutes, and so on.

John Bingham has a great book called "The Courage to Start". He was pretty overweight, and decided to start running in his 40s. He's both funny and inspirational. He's known as the Penguin, because he runs slow (waddles).

"Once an overweight couch potato with a glut of bad habits, including smoking and drinking, at the age of 43 Bingham looked mid-life in the face--and started running. Since then, he has completed 34 marathons and hundreds of 5K and 10K races--and developed a whole new outlook. "
